Christmas 2016


 We had a brilliant idea to simplify our gingerbread making activity to a gingerbread waffle building event. (Think 50 First Dates meets a hobbit hole.) It was delicious and utilized one of Avery's favorites: whip cream in a can. I don't know if we can top this next year!



Waiting on the stairs to go get our stockings.  We start Christmas morning with this picture every year. Some are more excited than others to be up early!

Avery is really into stuffed animals at this point of life.  She is ecstatic to add new members to her "stuffies" family.

 Avery told Santa she wanted an ipod.  Alisa gave her ipod to Avery in a new case and you can see how delighted Avery is. She got busy loading all of the fairy tales we have audio recordings for, onto the ipod.  She also has a collection of Piano Guys that she listens to all- of -the time!


For Christmas Avery got a new niece. Janie was born December 15 and Mom was in Utah helping Avery's sister Rachel when the baby was born.  Mom got home just in time for Christmas.
